What do you get when you cross a whip, a fedora and some Lego blocks? The new Lego Indiana Jones game of course! The Lego Indiana Jones: the Original Adventures is set to be released on the PSP as well as other handheld platforms like the Nintendo DS as well the XBOX 360 and PS3. LucasArts is banking on the hype generated from the upcoming Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull movie in hope of making this game a success.

Like its Star Wars predecessor, Lego Indiana Jones will feature a myriad of familiar characters done in blocky Lego form. I find this very appealing and charming as I have fond memories of enjoying Lego-play when I was a child, so why shouldn’t I do the same for Lego video games now that I’m an adult? I expect to see witty dialogues and cheesy humor in this game and I wasn’t disappointed. Lego Indiana Jones for the PSP follows Indy’s adventures throughout the first three films from the franchise: Raiders of the Lost Ark, Temple of Doom and the Last Crusade.

If you wander around Indy’s Barnett College, you’ll find that LucasArts has developed this game nicely and inserted good details strewn all over the game. You can access various rooms in the college and gain a barrage of goodies that come in the form of exclusive cutscenes and unlockable characters once you earn enough in-game tokens. Like the original Lego Star Wars games, Indy will be able to hop on virtually any mode of transportation in the game. I’m looking forward to seeing Indy ride on an elephant in true Lego style, blocky trunks and all!
